Special trains will bring cyclists to Albury-Wodonga for this year’s 40th anniversary Great Vic Bike Ride with hopes they will foster new rail services for riders throughout Victoria.
The two services in November will pay homage to the bike ride in 1984 when five free trains from Melbourne and one from Sydney arrived on the Border for the debut ride which travelled from Wodonga to Beechworth to Benalla before ending in the Victorian capital.
However, this time the participants will be arriving aboard a train operated by the Seymour Railway Heritage Centre rather than V/Line which has long since dropped the parcel vans that stored riders’ bikes for the trip to the Border.

Of course it’s not coming from vline as they couldn’t deliver it if they tried today.
So we should keep all these old louvre vans for the next 40 year anniversary? If Seymour can deliver the service…let them!
Too right let them V/Line have taken a lot of options from their delivery potential. V/Line need to have the capacity to respond to special services but not sure they can do this anymore.
